Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomI can’t thank Hotel Minerva enough for such a wonderful stay. From the moment I arrived, I felt so well taken care of. Housekeeping did an excellent job every day, keeping my room spotless and comfortable. A very special thank you to the front desk team – Jade, Andreas, and Federica – for their truly outstanding service. They were always so kind, welcoming, and patient, and their help with local area tips, transport, and recommendations made my trip so much easier and more enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious, and I especially loved the fresh salads and bruschetta. The rooftop is also such a gem – a beautiful space to relax and take in the views. I’m so grateful to the whole team at Hotel Minerva for going above and beyond in every way. This hotel really feels like a home away from home, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Santa Margherita Ligure. A must-visit place!

BelgiumIf I would have to say something it would be that we had a room with a short bed and a narrow bathroom. My 1,90m boyfriend didn’t fit in the bed when he laid down.
The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming. We could ask them any question, and they would help us plan anything we wanted. We received good advice and recommendations. The hotel is located in a quiet street, and a 10/15min walk to the city centre. And yes you have to ask a card to go swim in the pool, but that’s no problem. We went swimming almost every day, at different hours, and we always had room without previous reservation.

RomaniaA beautiful boutique hotel with a warm, attentive staff who truly made me feel very comfortable. Delicious breakfast, a wide variety of healthy choices(eggs,italian cheese, fruits, vegetables, seeds, different types of honey and jams), tea and coffee served in elegant and fine cups, in a dreamy garden setting. It was the perfect way to start the day. The rooftop terrace with a panoramic stunning view was also a highlight of my staying there. Perfect location of the hotel, close to the center, and in a quiet area. I would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone seeking good taste and a serene place to stay.

United KingdomI wish we could have stayed a lot longer! Such a lovely little hotel slightly set back form the marina front so very quiet but just a few minutes walk to get to the town centre. And such a lovely host and staff. Very welcoming, very friendly and helpful. The rooftop area with views over the sea and bay were stunning. I loved the little garden too, very pretty and welcoming. Our room and little balcony were perfect and kept incredibly clean.

We had such a warm welcome on arrival. The staff were so friendly and helpful especially Federica. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was fresh and delicious. The standout part was the pool which has an amazing view. We loved the location and how easy it was to visit Portofino and Cinque Terre. We would definitely recommend.

United StatesNothing. I'd live in this hotel.
The LOCATION is near enough the city center but far enough so you don't hear the busy roads. The hotel sits in a little corner and had an amazing patio. The STAFF is amazingly friends. Jade, Federica and all others are helpful, polite and friendly. They will go over the top to help you in all you need. The ROOM is comfortable, has a nice view (stayed in 204) and very clean. The toiletries are super nice. Great BREAKFAST. . The POOL is the cherry on the cake. Amazing view, has a little gym for yoga, two saunas. I don't know why they say this is a three star. They should be 5 stars.

United StatesBreakfast was lovely and the citrus terrace so beautiful. The rooms were very nice and the AC worked great. We thought it was such a cute lovely hotel and a good value for the money. The location is really good - a bit back from the water but anything closer to the water was quite a bit more so I really was pleased with this hotel and will stay there again if we go back to Santa Margharita. You can easily walk to Portofino from this hotel too.
